36 Reberov tip radioteleskopa Despite the implications of Jansky s work, both on the design of radio receivers, as well as for radio astronomy, no one paid much attention at first. Then, in 1937, Grote Reber, another radio engineer, picked up on Jansky s discoveries and built the prototype for the modern radio telescope in his back yard in Wheaton, Illinois. He started out looking for radiation at shorter wavelengths, thinking these wavelengths would be stronger and easier to detect. He didn t have much luck, however, and ended up modifying his antenna to detect radiation at a wavelength of 1.87 meters (about the height of a human), where he found strong emissions along the plane of the Milky Way.
37 Reconfigurable Arrays: Zoom Lens Effect VLA VLBA Više detektora bolja rezolucija
38 Radio Telescopes: Sensitivity Sensitivity (how faint of a thing you can see ) depends on how much of the area of the telescope/array is actually collecting data VLA B-array: B Total telescope collecting area is only 0.02% of land area More spread-out arrays can only image very bright, compact sources

56 Pulsar Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.. The observed periods of their pulses range from 1.4 milliseconds to 8.5 seconds. The radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth. This is called the lighthouse effect and gives rise to the pulsed nature that gives pulsars their name. Because neutron stars are very dense objects,, the rotation period and thus the interval between observed pulses are very regular. For some pulsars,, the regularity of pulsation is as precise as an atomic clock. Pulsars are known to have planets orbiting them,, as in the case of PSR B Werner Becker of the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik said in 2006, "The theory of how pulsars emit their radiation is still in its infancy, even after nearly forty years of work."
57 Kvazar A Quasi-stellar stellar radio source (Quasar)) is a powerfully energetic and distant galaxy with an active galactic nucleus. Quasars were first identified as being high redshift sources of electromagnetic energy, including radio waves and visible light, that were pointlike, similar to stars, rather than extended sources similar to galaxies. While there was initially some controversy over the nature of these objects as recently as the 1980s, there was no clear consensus as to their nature there is now a scientific consensus that a quasar is a compact region 10-10,000 Schwarzschild radii across surrounding the central supermassive black hole of a galaxy, powered by its accretion disc.
58 Maser Historical background In 1965 an unexpected discovery was made by Weaver et al. - emission lines in space of unknown origin at a frequency of 1665 MHz.. At this time many people still thought that molecules could not exist in space,, so the emission was at first put down to an interstellar species named Mysterium, but the emission was soon identified as line emission from OH molecules in compact sources within molecular clouds.. More discoveries followed, with H2O emission in 1969, CH3OH emission in 1970 and SiO emission in 1974[7] [7],, all coming from within molecular clouds. These were termed "masers", as from their narrow line-widths and high effective temperatures it became clear that these sources were amplifying microwave radiation. Masers were then discovered around highly evolved Late type stars; First was OH emission in 1968, then H2O emission in 1969 and SiO emission in Masers were also discovered in external galaxies in 1973, and in our own solar system in comet halos. Another unexpected discovery was made in 1982 with the discovery of emission from an extra-galactic source with an unrivalled luminosity about 106 times larger than any previous source. This was termed a megamaser because of its great luminosity, and many more megamasers have since been discovered. Evidence for an anti-pumped (dasar) sub-thermal population in the 4830 MHz transition of formaldehyde (H2CO) was observed in 1969 by Palmer et al.
